Yandara Yoga Institute

From start to finish, my trip felt like a dream! The scenery was beautiful, the site was kept so perfect and clean and well maintained, I LOVED my bell tent (only around 200$ for the upgrade from the standard tent and it was definitely worth it!!), the yoga classes (both physical and theory) were so amazing! Challenging, rewarding and powerful. Craig and all of the teachers at Yandara are truly inspiring. Having Anne as a tutor was definitely a highlight for me.

This wasn’t just a YTT it was a holistic experience that went far beyond my expectations. The place is located in an absolutely stunning location on a pristine Baja Californian beach, simplistic but very beautiful and Zen-like in style. The teachers are extremely experienced. But experience is probably the smallest part of their magic. The biggest part is their hearts, their dedication and deeply truthful determination to bring out the very gift in every single trainee and let them shine in every way imaginable. The amount of love that floats around this wonderful place is the true miracle of this school. The many decades of knowledge become almost secondary due to this overflowing love with which trainees are taught, although most Yoga schools will not be able to compete as far as knowledge and experience are concerned. Oh and the food: it is to-die-for-delicious every single day. Freshly cooked, organic, sattvic, no white sugar, just pure delight, gluten-free & vegan if needed. All amenities were spotlessly clean at all times.

Accommodation was in individual tents either basic or glamping, all tents where equipped with real beds, drawers and electricity. Currently a series of little cabin houses are about to be finalised so there will be more accommodation options soon (assessing from the state of construction as of 12/2021).

All in all it is really hard to put this wonderful experience into words, but be prepared: a course at Yandara is life-changing!

Best experience ever. The people, the community, the wales and the magic place. Highly recommended!

I loved the accommodations, the food, my teachers , the studio spaces, and the overall location. I went there to learn how to become a yoga teacher, and I took home so much more than just that :)

It gave you nature at your doorstep, it provided simplicity yet everything you needed to feel taken care of and safe.

Inspiring energy cultivated by likeminded souls. Every enter action with instructors, students and nature was life changing.

Me gustó el proceso y las actividades, combinar el teacher training con un retiro.

Das Konplettpaket war perfekt. Jede einzelne Stunde passt ins Bild, ein roter Faden zieht sich durch das gesamte Programm, inkl Abendgestaltung/Essen/Freizeit. Mehr kann ich mich nicht wünschen!

My experience at Yandara was absolutely amazing. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and sweet. They created such a supportive environment that I felt completely safe to express myself, ask questions, and try new things. We covered philosophy, alignment, practice teaching, meditation, kirtan, Satya and breath among a great deal of other things. I feel that the training is very complete and I’m grateful for my experience there.

The people, the setup and the location, the surprises and the teaching. Intensive and well prepared.

Very rich training with highly trained teachers.

Ik heb de manier van lesgeven, die is gericht op ervaren en spiritualiteit, als enorm verrijkend ervaren. Kennis wordt overgebracht, maar vooral ook het gedachtegoed van yoga, de spiritualiteit ervan. De opleiding gaat verder dan het aanleren van poses hoe deze te instrueren en te assisteren. Het is vooral veel ervaren en ook veel doen. Je wordt ondergedompeld in de beleving en ik heb er enorm van geleerd en genoten.

It was such a wonderful experience, from the teachers and program, to the accommodations and food. I wish I could do it all over again.

I loved the yoga, friends, experience and close walking distance to swim!
